papersky's apple cakeling recipe, but all errors are my very own.
2 ounces butter (1/2 stick), melted
2 ounces sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 ounce Baker's chocolate, melted
1 large egg
2 ounces flour, sifted
Preheat oven to 400°F (sorry, I don't know the Centigrade or gas mark equivalents). Put paper muffin/cakeling cups into muffin tins.
Whisk sugar into butter. (This produces a thick, pale yellow substance). Next, whisk in vanilla, ginger, and chocolate.
Whisk in egg.
Fold flour into the liquid mixture.
Pour the resulting mixture into paper muffin cups, filling about 1/3 full. (I got eight cakelings). Dust top with cinnamon sugar.
Bake 15 minutes.
Evaluation:
It's a decent start. A little too sugary. A bit more flour, or less sugar, might help. More ginger is definitely needed: try a full teaspoon next time. Also, the cinnamon sugar might as well be omitted, since I can't taste the cinnamon.
